Back to something relevant, will NetBSD now or in the future be runnable
on systems with 4 megs of memory?

The last I've tried, I can only reasonably run NetBSD on m68k systems with
6 megs. Although I did get a 4 meg system to boot, waiting literally hours
for the system to complete the startup sequence was not what I'd consider
usable.

Will we see trimmed down NetBSD binary sets, optimised for low memory
systems, or will we eventually decide that 8 megs is the practical
minimum?

(Note that this question is rhetorical; I know for a fact that just as
soon as someone says, "we will no longer wish to care about systems with
less than 8 megs", a number of people will come up with kernel config
files to show exactly how to set up a 4 meg NetBSD system).

Is anyone keeping track of system memory use of each GENERIC from, say,
1.4 and up? What's the best way to measure?
